Tho London Old Lady.

came away from the great city with
the feeling that this most complex pro-
duct Of civilization was nowhere else de-
veloped in such perfection. The octo-
genarian Londoness has been in society
let us say the highest society-all her
days. She is as tough as an old macaw,
or she would not have listed so long. She
has seen and talked with all the celebri-
ties of three generations, all the beauties
of at least half dozen decades. Her
wits have been kept bright by constant
use, anl "s she is free Of speech it re-
quircs courage to face her. Yet
nobo inc more agreeable, even to
young ...ons, than one of these precious
old dowagers. A great beauty is almost
certainly thinking how she looks when
one is talking with her; an authoress is
waiting to have one praise her book; but
grand old lady, who loves London so-
,ciety, who lives in it. who understands
young people and all sorts Of people, with
her high colored recollsCtions of the past
and her grand maternal interests in the
new generation, is the best of compan-
ions, especially over a cup Of tea just
strong enough to stir up her talking

New Maine Liquor Law.
Lively Times Anticipated on the Pen
ObscOt IL II is Enforced.

BANGOR, Me-, April 1.-THE new
ironclad liquor law, which goes in
to effect next Monday, is causing
CONSERVATION among the saloon
keepers. The old prohibitory law
was severe enough in its penalties,
but as public opinion is strongly
opposed TO such measures in Ban
gor it has never been enforced to
any great extent. There were only
IT'S gallons of liquor seized here
during the year ending March l.
The new law provides fine of $50
and costs and thirty days impris-
onment for any person convicted
of selling liquor in violation of law
for the first offense, and in default
of payment of the fine thirty days
additional imprisonment. For each
subsequent offense the punishment
is fine of 5000 and costs and six
months imprisonment, or, in de-
fault of fine, six months additional
imprisonment. Bartenders and all
employees violating or any manner
assisting in the violation of the law
are held equally guilty with the
principal and are subject to the
same penalties. A common seller
may be fined 800 and costs and
imprisoned thirty days, or, instead
of such fine, imprisoned sixty days
additional. On each subsequent
conviction he may be fined 5000
and imprisoned four months, and,
in default of fine, imprisoned four
months additional. 1t will be seen
that, if the law is enforced, the con-
victed parties cannot escape the
county Jail. If it is enforced all the
jails in the State will have to be
enlarged and some new ones built,
besides. ,t,,e.-ru-a..
Druggists may use liquor in the
compounding of prescriptions, but
are not allowed to sell any wine,
brandy or other liquors clear for
any purpose whatsoever-not even
alcohol, Of which Bangor dealers
have always sold large quantities
to country traders. Itis needless
to say that the druggists are pret-
ty mad set of men. To put a clinch-
er on the whole business the new
law holds that the payment of a
United States special tax as liquor
sellers Is prima facie evidence that
the person paying said tax is a
common seller, and his premises a
common nuisance. If a person il
found intoxicated In the street he
IL to be fined $40 and costs or i'm
prisoned for thirty. days for the
first otSense, and for each subse-
qusnt o6snse inprisoned for thirty
days. Money will not keep him

REMPEL'S WARE HOUSE.
slavery in Eastern Countries,

1t is a mistake to regard the condition
Of a slave In the east as utterly wretched.
On the contrary, he is much better off
than the average artisan in Europe. The
worst he has to endure is the severance
from lis home and the journey to his
place Of destination. The relations be-
tween master and slave in eastern coun-
tries have little analogy with those form
crly existing in Brazil and North America.
1t is usual for the Arab to grant freedom
to his bondsman after a certain term of
81 rvitude; but in general the boon is de-
t'med and the slave prefers to continue
IN service where he is well taken care
of. The children Of a Mohammedan
master and female slave stand upon an
equal social footing and enjoy the same
legal rights of heirship as the offspring of
the legitimate wife. The mother, by the
very event of the birth, becomes free and
cannot be sold. An emancipated elave
frequently inherits his masters property
and carries on his business. In Meccah
and Jeddah / know many freedmen Of
this class who have become eminent mer-
chants.-Cor. st. Louis Globe Dispatch.

Leprosy in Now Orleans.

While delving for information on the
subject of the city's health I ascertained
what l believe is not generally known in
New Orleans-that leprosy exists here to
a remarkable extent. It has been known
here in a vague sort of way that there
were some cases Of the dreaded disease in
the lower parishes, but not that it pre-
vailed to any extent in New Orleans.
There are now under treatment in the
Charity hospital no less than eighteen
cases. What is more remarkable, and
should be of absorbing interest to the peo-
pie here, is the fact, am informed on
authority, that the luckless victims do
not know with what they are afflicted,
and are going about their usual voca-
tions.-New Orleans Letter.

First Singing of "Home,
Sweet HOme."

Perhaps the most thrilling quart
or of an hour of John Howard
Pnyne's life was that when Jenny
Lind sung "Home Sweet Home" to
him. The occasion was the jenny
Lind concert in Washington, the
night Of December 18th. 1850. The
assembly, was, perhaps the most
distinguished ever seen in q con-
cert-room in this country. The
immense National Hall, hastily
constructed for the occasion on the
ruins of the burned National
Theatre, was filed to overhowing.
Among the notables present and
occupying front seats were Pres
ident Fillmore, Daniel Webster,
Henry Clay, General Scott, and
John Howard Payne. Jenny Lind
opened with the "Casta Diva" and
followed with the dilute Song" lin
which her voice contested rivalry
for purity and sweetness with the
flute in the duetD then the famous
"Bird Song" and next on the pro-
gramme the "Greeting to America"
All pieces were applauded appar-
emily to the full capacity of an
enthusiastic audience, and Mr..
Webster, who was in his most
genial after-dinner mood, en-
phasized the plaudit by rising
from his seat and making a pro-
found bow, as if responding for the
country to her Correcting" But
when the "Sweedish Nightengale"
answered the encore by turning in
the direction of John Howard
Payne and giving "Home, Sweet
Home" with all the wonderful
tenderness, purity, and simplicity
fitting both the words and air of
the immortal song, the difference
was at once seen between the me-
chanical applause called out by
display of fine vocalization, and
that elected by the "touch of ma
ture that makes the whole world
kim" Before the first line of the
song was completed the audience
was fairly off its feet, and could
scarcely wait for a pause to give
expression toits enthusiasm. Peo-
pie ordinarily of the undemonstra-
tive sort, clapped, stamped and
shouted as if they were mad, and
it seemed as if there would be no
end to tho uproar. Meantime all
eyes were turned upon Payne,
small sized, elegantly-modeled,
gray-haired gentleman, who blush
ed violently at finding himself the
center of $50 many glances.-

TARLTON.'
Old Voter Surprised, Building Rail.
rOad. Live and Dead Men.


Said an old voter who has been
voting in this township for over
fifty years, L can not understand
this vote of our township for it
went Republican. Two tickets
were presented to our citizers to
vote, one for saloon. The temper
ance ticket gained the day. We
are trying to boom our towr, we
are making one grand effort to
build a railroad and increase the
population, and wake up the dead
men among us, and revive business.
1t takes live men to make a live
town. IF they really are rea! dead
dead all over--we tenderly lay
them away in the sleep of the tomb f;
but if they are only dead to all
thought of enterprise and spirit
outside of the narrow line of their
own self interest, and yet persist
in walking around moving their
dry bones and calloused hearts
without conscience, where real
business is wanted to thrOb and
push with vigor, they are like drone
bees, in the way until they are
stung to death and dragged outside
of the hive of legitimate industry.
Twenty real live men are worth
more to town and the public gen.
enerally, than u round thousand of
such useless material that lies
around like rubbish in a stream
that is rushing and foaming to run
mills and factories. Yes, live men
bless, and dead men curse town,
Let n number of men with push in
them start business and it is a
sure go. Just propose some good
and lasting Improvement and you
have all of the croakers squeaking
at once, and in concert against it
